I find it hard to believe that Disney would spend all the money, time, and talent to make a movie to flop, on purpose. Disney may be money loving coproration that will sequel the bejesus out of anything, but as far as their main films, they try to do the best they can.
Any company that does anything as insipid as that has a snowball’s chance in Hell doing well. And Disney has been doing pretty fricken’ well.
Why are we talking about Shrek in a thread about Disney 2D animation? That is like kicking Walt Disney in the shins repeatedly. Shrek is THE anti-Disney. That is the entire purpose of Shrek, to poke fun of and turn Disney inside-out. It is cruel, even sinister, to even hint at Shrek being good in this thread. It isn’t good, but that’s beside the point. Somehow I get the idea that you guys print out pictures of Walt Disney and cut across his nose with scissors, laughing maiacally while you do it. That is what talking about Shrek in a 2D Disney thread is like.
